GREAT BRITISH DESIGN, INNOVATION

AND EXCELLENCE SINCE 1912

Since the turn of the 20th century, Tower has been designing,

developing and manufacturing housewares and small

producer of pressure cookers, right through into the late

1980s. In recent years the Tower brand has been reborn with

an exciting and varied range of housewares and electrical

appliances that have quickly reinstated the brand’s richly

deserved status as a household name.

1. Remove the parts from the packaging.

2. Prior to initial use, clean your kettle by going through several boiling cycles,

using clean water with each cycle and ﬁlling the kettle to its upper marking.

The water will reach boiling point after approximately 5 minutes. The kettle

switches off automatically.

3. Discard the boiled water and wait for the kettle to cool. Then rinse the kettle

with cold water.

4. Your appliance is now ready for normal use.

5. Dispose of the packaging in a responsible manner

1. Fill the kettle using either the spout or lid.

2. The water level must be between the MAX and MIN ﬁll lines.

3. Check that the lid is closed correctly.

4. Ensure that the base unit and the base of your kettle are not wet.

5. Place the kettle onto the base unit and plug in.

6. Switch the kettle on by pushing the ON/OFF switch to the ‘I’ position.

7. Your kettle will begin to boil and will switch off automatically when it is done.

The ON/OFF switch will automatically move into the ‘0’ position when done.

8. The kettle can be switched off manually by putting the ON/OFF switch to ‘0’.

9. If you need to boil the kettle again, wait for a few seconds - allow the ON/OFF

switch time to reset.

Note: The ON/OFF switch will also automatically return to the OFF position when

it is ﬁnished boiling.

Note: You can stop the boil process at any time by pushing the ON/OFF switch up

to the off position.

WARNING! NEVER REMOVE THE LID DURING BOILING.

IF THE WATER INSIDE THE KETTLE HAS JUST BOILED, THE KETTLE WILL BE FULL

4 - Before First Use

5 - Using Your Appliance

Boil Dry Protection:

• Your kettle will switch off automatically if you try to use it with too little water

or if it is empty.

• If this happens, ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the off position, remove it from

the base unit and allow it to cool down before re-ﬁlling.

• Wait at least 15 minutes for the cut-out to reset before reﬁlling with cold water

and boiling.

CAUTION! DO NOT switch the kettle on unless it contains at least one cup of

water to avoid damaging the appliance and shortening its lifespan.

Filter:

• Your kettle is ﬁtted with a ﬁlter. The ﬁlter helps to prevent lime-scale from

getting into your drink.

• The ﬁlter should be cleaned regularly, in particular if there are noticeable

• deposits left on it, or if pouring is affected in any way.

• To clean the ﬁlter, rinse it under the tap.

6 - Troubleshooting

before pouring.

3. The kettle may still have de-scaling solutions inside. Follow

the full instructions of your de-scaling agent and make sure to

rinse the kettle thoroughly before use.

My kettle will not

switch off.

1. This may be due to a build-up of lime-scale. De-scale your

kettle regularly.

2. The lid on your kettle may not be ﬁrmly shut. Push the lid

down to ensure a tight ﬁt.

There are water

droplets on the base

unit – should I be

worried?

1. You may not have enough water in your kettle, causing the boil

dry protection to activate. Make sure the water surpasses the

min ﬁll line.

2. Check that the kettle is properly connected to the power

supply.

3. The element may be broken. Contact The Tower Customer

Support Team on: +44 (0) 333 220 6066.

7 - Recycling

Cleaning The Outside and Base Unit:

1. Remove plug from the mains socket and allow the appliance to cool down

before cleaning.

2. Do not immerse the base unit, kettle or plug/power cord in water or any other

liquid.

3. Clean the base unit and outside of the appliance by wiping it with a damp

cloth. A little detergent can be added if needed.

4. Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, any form of strong solvents or abrasive

cleaning agents to clean the appliance; they may damage the outside surfaces

of the appliance.

De-Scaling:

IMPORTANT: Failure to de-scale your kettle may invalidate your guarantee.

If you do not de-scale your kettle regularly, the build-up of lime-scale may result in

the following:

• The kettle taking longer to boil.

• Damage to the heating element.

• The safety cut out may operate prematurely, switching the kettle off before the

water has boiled.

To Minimise Scale Build-Up:

• Empty the kettle of water after each use.

• Do not allow water to stand in the kettle overnight.

• Using ﬁltered water instead of tap water will help to reduce lime-scale build up.

How To De-Scale:

Note: Should the appliance switch ON before reaching boiling point this is a sign

that de-scaling is necessary.

• Any regular de-scaling agent may be used, provided the relevant instructions

are observed. To avoid spillage, DO NOT ﬁll the kettle to the upper mark if the

de-scaling agent causes the water to foam.

• To clean the kettle thoroughly of any de-calciﬁcation residue; let it go through

several boiling cycles using clean water with each cycle. Rinse the kettle with

clean water afterwards.

• It is advisable to remove limescale deposits from the kettle at regular intervals.

Removing Limescale Build-up:

If using a kettle cleaning solution make sure to follow the instructions.

Natural Cleaning Method for Limescale Removal:

• Fill the kettle with equal parts water and vinegar (white wine vinegar, cider

vinegar or lemon juice work particularly well). Allow the kettle to boil (pay

attention that the contents do not boil over) and let it stand for 30-40 minutes.

• When ﬁnished empty the kettle and rinse it with water.

• The kettle should now be free from limescale and can be used again.
